How many Tiny Ricks will it take to make Morty look cool enough for school?
Here’s our latest Rick and Morty review…
Sometimes Jerry and Beth plots degenerate into two people screaming at each other for, like, a while.
Am I right or what, people who were the product of a dysfunctional union?
Big Trouble in Little Sanchez comes up with a great way to do that.
Auto Erotic Assimilation put a spin on unhealthy relationships by having one between Rick and a hive mind.
And the way they defeat the giant Beth-projection-bug-monster is a smart resolution of the premise.
I dont think hes come out this heroic since Rick Potion No.
9 and that Jerry has been lost to another dimension.
The Rick-Summer-Morty plot feels a little more half-baked.
The majority of it is little teenage Rick running around shouting Tiny Rick!
The plot is basically just Summer and Morty taking their time to recognize this as a problem.
(Yeah, I know she has no real character, still.
Maybe some day.)
But this storyline feels mostly like an excuse to have fun with the novelty premise of Tiny Rick.
The plot even resolves through a throwaway gag of forcing Tiny Rick to listen to Elliot Smith.
Though I did like how messed up it was that Tiny Rick totally destroyed Summers rep before leaving.
On the comedy side of things, I didnt laugh so much.
They can save the marriage of a porn star and a porn star.
Tiny Rick shouting Tiny Rick!
is inherently charming and made me chuckle a little.
(In general, I admired this episodes gleeful use of fairly gnarly violence.)
Oh gosh, and I almost forgot about Worm Jerry repeatedly offering up its butt to real Jerry.
In conclusion: Quite satisfying story, not too many laugh-out-loud jokes.
Oh, and Jim Rash was in it!
He did a good job!
He sounded just like Jim Rash.
